Vintage Barbour Original Beaufort Jacket with Thornproof waxed cotton
Production year - 2000
Tartan lining (likely Dress Gordon)
Made in England
Color - Sage (A150)
3 Royal Warrants on label - very fascinating detail (google this)
Brass zipper
Barbour-labeled zipper and buttons
Inner button snaps for liner add-ons
Fabric (outer) - 100% waxed coated cotton (Thornproof)
Fabric (inner lining) - 75% cotton/25% nylon
Corduroy collar
Tag size - C38/97cm
Fit (IMO) - regular fit as the Beaufort is meant to be looser to allow for layering (sweaters, liners, etc) in colder seasons. For reference, I am 5'9", 160 pounds and it fits me comfortably (not oversized, not tight). I typically wear a thick sweater with it and there is plenty of room for a liner or even a thin puffer if you want.

Thornproof info (taken from somewhere):
The Beaufort Original has a waxed cotton finish. This finish is also often called "thornproof", and it's applied differently than the sylkoil finishes used for their Beaufort Classic outerwear. The cotton is calendared first by running it through heated rollers. This seals the fabric's weave, resulting in a matte finish on one side of the fabric and a glossy finish on the other.
These thornproof finishes on the Beaufort Original are said to be more rip-resistant and weatherproof than on a Beaufort Classic. That being said, the aesthetics are very different. Waxed cotton offers deeper, smoother, and more subtle colors. It mutes the character of the textile itself in order to provide that better durability.
The result is slightly stiffer, more glossy-looking outer jacket. It has a more "formal" or urban look, unlike the Beaufort Classic's much more rough-and-tumble country-style aesthetic.
